The Edge of Madness [Hell Edit]

[Intro – multi-toned demonic whispers into explosive breakdown, melancholy cello, 250 BPM speed metal guitar riffs] This nightmare lives to defile your dream... Soul Edge savors every last scream. Butcher and Blade fused cruelty to create a truly wicked thing... The Azure Knight kills the light to reign in darkness as it's king. [Verse 1 – twin guitar harmonies, palm muting, 250 BPM] Born from the slaughter a vessel where hatred thrives. Parasitic possession entropic envoy and ender of lives. Distorted armor fused to flesh so infernal and cold. A brutal tyrant reborn, shaped by curses that Soul Edge told. Dragging that malefic blade through the corpse littered battleground. Every swing, every slash, every body lifeless in blood and darkness drowned. No mercy left, no humanity, no lag in me! Only destruction, chaos, and such sweet agony! [Pre-Chorus – building, glitching electronics, orchestral horns swell, snare rolls, multi-toned demonic vocals] Hear the whispers behind twisted steel? I'm the Nightmare to which all shall kneel! Fall to the massacre brutality brings! Join your cries to the songs agony sings! [Chorus – male groul, dark operatic choir + twin guitar harmonies, blast beat surge] I AM NIGHTMARE! CURSED BY DESPAIR! SOUL EDGE HAS SPOKEN! LEAVING BODIES BROKEN ! PARISH...YOUR SOUL IS MINE! WHAT BREAKS FIRST...SPIRIT OR SPINE? FEAST UPON SOULS FOR ETERNITY! BLOOD, DARKNESS, COME UNTO ME!!! [Verse 2 — clean female vocal and male screaming, glitched electronics, blast beat surges] Bodies impaled, Lord of gore and broken bone. No god alive can stop this Nightmare alone. The eye in the armor violently burns. Watching as the endless chaos churns. Peasants and kings all fall the same. Broken apart by the devil I became. How beautiful the sight watching calamity spread. “Feast on the living...MASSACRE...devour the dead”. Rivers run red when the eclipse takes the light. Death reflects in your hollow eyes blind with fright. Every victim dies bound by the ties of fate. There’s no escape from the edge...of...HATE!!! All shall fall to the wrath as I fulfill this infernal oath. Blood...Darkness...I SHALL DROWN THE WORLD IN BOTH!!! [Breakdown — syncopated groove, 250 BPM half-time, tunnel throat gutturals, glitching bass, Melancholy cello lead interlude — 4 bars] CUT... THEM... DOWN... ALL SHALL DROWN! CRUSH THE LIGHT! REVEL IN UNENDING NIGHT! PILE THE BODIES TO THE SKIES... TODAY'S THE DAY EVERYONE...DIES!!! [Bridge – melodic but sinister corrupted multi-toned vocals] Somewhere deep in me lies a soul betrayed. A shattered warrior enslaved by this vile blade. The curse of Soul Edge sunk deep into the spirit of Siegfried. Virtue and honor erased replaced by the Nightmare it freed. But this darkness consumed every part of me. Now only the monster remains to feed and free...to...BE!!! [Final Chorus] I AM NIGHTMARE! THE FALL OF MEN! SOULS WILL DISPAIR! AGAIN AND AGAIN! THE FALL OF ALL I PLEDGE! NO DAWNING LIGHT TO SEE! FEED YOUR SOUL TO THE EDGE! DEATH BY THE NIGHTMARE IN ME!!! [Outro – slow crushing finish] ...death...I want to taste more death.... Soul Edge is never satisfied... Veracity of this cursed blade... Never slows...never sleeps... ...Blood... ...Darkness... ...Come unto me... ...THE NIGHTMARE WILL NEVER END...
